-
- As root:
-
- cd /usr/lib/NextStep/loginwindow.app/English.lproj
-
- If you've never changed your login panel tiff before, save
- the original (which is just good system administration, eh?):
-
- mv nextlogin.tiff nextlogin.tiff.orig
-
- Then put your new tiff in its place:
-
- cp -p <yourpath/yourimage.tiff> nextlogin.tiff
-
- If English isn't your local language, your *.lproj directory
- will be appropriately different, of course.
-
- Then log out, and type exit<return> as the login name; that
- restarts the Window Server, bringing up the new login panel.
- Woe to you if you've misspelled the name nextlogin.tiff, so
- be careful.
-
- Within NeXTstep, logged on as root, you can open
- loginwindow.app with command-O, similarly
- <local_language.lproj>, rename the old file, and drag in a
- copy of the new one.
-
- I've been designing a big batch of new login panel tiffs and
- am about to release them to the world (I wasn't sure of the
- world was all that interested), so I've done this a lot
- lately.
